Plot: This landmark feminist and lesbian triumph -- originally banned in Germany and the U.S. -- had an anti-Nazi stance that was responsible for director Leontine Sagan's exile from Germany two years after its completion. The story concerns a schoolgirl's forbidden longing for a sensitive female teacher. As youth and adult become closer, they understand each other's romantic intentions.
